Detailed explanation-1: -The three limitations of Darwin’s theory concern the origin of DNA, the irreducible complexity of the cell, and the paucity of transitional species. Because of these limitations, the author predicts a paradigm shift away from evolution to an alternative explanation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Christian churches were long hostile to Darwin because his theory conflicted with the literal biblical account of creation.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the deepest hitting criticisms of the theory of natural selection pointed out that it could hardly operate at all if heredity blended. One of the main objections to natural selection was that there are gaps between forms in nature that could not be crossed if evolution was powered by natural selection alone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Darwin proposed that species can change over time, that new species come from pre-existing species, and that all species share a common ancestor. In this model, each species has its own unique set of heritable (genetic) differences from the common ancestor, which have accumulated gradually over very long time periods.
